Lunar Chronicles One-Shots

Agony

This whimsical one-shot was inspired by the song "Agony" from Into the Woods. Its basically Cinderella's and Rapunzel's princes fighting over which one is suffering the most. If you have not watched it yet, I highly suggest you do. (Its on Disney +, go watch it!) Now, without further ado, let us begin! Also includes spoiler for Stars Above so... U HAVE BEEN WARNED! Now we begin :)

It was in the middle of the afternoon when the palace staff heard shouting coming from the lounging area. They watched as a distressed Ambassador Selene hauled a petite girl with short hair and innocent blue eyes towards the noise. Another girl with dark skin and blue braids were on the Ambassador's toes. A servant managed to get a peek inside the lounge area when the three girls walked in, only to find the Emperor himself scowling as a rather handsome  man with well-kept hair and blue eyes yell at him. Both of them were wet. 

To find out the cause of this situation, well nobody knows, except the two boys themselves...

An hour before.

Thorne was bored out of his mind. Cress was off hacking something, somewhere, in the palace. Cinder was nowhere to be found, and Iko always went where she went, so that only leaves Kai to bother with. The Emperor Dude Guy That All Of The Girls In The World Are Currently In Love With (Even Though He Is Engaged). Like, how could anyone simp for that weirdo when they are missing out on all of this. Though, he would reject all the ladies because of Cress, it would still be nice to have some appreciation of his naturally good-looks. Man, he might have to bring out the smolder...

Thorne spotted the Emperor Dude Guy (to keep it short) coming out of the kitchen area  carrying a mug of coffee and said: "Wassup"

The Emperor Dude Guy flinched and spilled coffee, no tea, all over his nice shirt.

"Thorne! I just bought this shirt!" Kai yelped, "and I just made the tea! We haven't had chamomile all week, it was going to taste so good" He looked at mug wistfully. Then he went into the lounge kitchen area to grab a rag to try and clean up the shirt. Thorne followed him.

"Sorry that you just can't handle my awesome existence, I must be too much for you to handle," Kai scowled at him and continued to wipe out the tea. "Who drinks tea anyways?"

"Your girlfriend" He glared up at Thorne, who was in complete shock. Since when does Cress drink tea? Kai, on the other hand, looked smug at Thornes reaction, "Yep, sometimes we discuss which different types of tea are our favorites"

"Whatever. Anyways, I'm bored. Everyone's out doing something, and I have no one to talk to."

"Why me?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, there are like 200 people in the palace. You could have chosen to bother any one of them, but you chose me. Why me?" He growled, then stopped and seemed to realize something important. Then raked his hand through his hair. "Ugh"

"What? I'm not that bad."

"No, its not you, its me."

"What are we, breaking up"

"What!- never mind." He sighed slowly and looked up like he was asking for patience. "It's just I quoted something that was intimate to Cinder and I"

"So?"

"So? It was important to our relationship back then, before I knew she was a cyborg! Don't you have a quote that's important to you and Cress" That was a good question. Thorne tried to recall something that could beat Kai's and Cinder's terrible one. Like, what even was that?
